Benefits of an ergonomic mouse

Reduces strain

An ergonomic mouse is shaped to support the natural position of the hand and wrist. This reduces pressure in the carpal tunnel, joints, and muscles, which in turn reduces strain accumulated throughout the day. Long-term computer use with a traditional mouse can lead to wrist and hand strain, whereas an ergonomic mouse aims to minimize this strain.
